I was just watching part one of the Dunn trial on YouTube and have had a bit of an epiphany about why the jury might have wanted to view the video. Steven Smith testified that as he was walking out the door to his truck a voice shouting "you're not gonna talk to me that way!" And that is of course when Dunn reached for his gun. I think the jury might be trying to guesstimate how much time it took for Dunn to get his gun and ready it to shoot. Dunn said it only took a couple of seconds. But it seems like, based on Smith's testimony it might have taken a bit longer than that, showing Dunn made a clear and thoughtful decision to grab the gun and use it. I'll have to re-watch Dunn's testimony to see if he's saying Jordan tried to attack him before or after he shouted that (or what he says is "you're not gonna kill me today!") but it also seems unlikely, in either scenario, that if Jordan was advancing on him and ready to attack, that Dunn would have had enough time to grab his gun and ready it and shoot before Jordan could have made it to him if it did indeed take more than a couple seconds. What I also gather, and what the jury may notice, was how quick the argument was. Smith says that when he was at the counter you could still hear the music. Not a minute later he walks out and says that he could no longer hear the music. The jury may just be trying to piece together an approximate time line based on testimony and the video. That's exactly what I'd be doing. We'll see what happens.
